Manchester United's trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday was billed as the last-chance saloon for United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but it ended up being opposite number Nuno Espirito Santo who was kicked out of the swinging doors on Monday.
Antonio Conte — the former Juventus and Chelsea manager, who was, according to some media reports, about to take over from Solskjaer at United — is now the favorite to be the new Spurs boss.
Solskjaer, who in the days building up to the game had been dismissed as incapable of setting a team up, motivating a side and having the tactical skills required, radically altered his team's formation and approach and delivered a narrative-busting 3-0 win in North London.
